Clicking 10 or 20 seconds in the browser would have told you two it's 
not the case for at least some of the packages (I guess the majority, 
but I didn't check). Just picked the first one in the list:

http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/4/SRPMS/obby-0.4.4-2.el4.src.rpm

http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/testing/4/SRPMS/obby-0.4.4-2.el4.src.rpm

And it are definitely different builds:

[thl at thl ~]$ repoquery --repoid epel4 --qf '%{buildtime}' obby.x86_64
1197477479
[thl at thl ~]$ repoquery --repoid epel4-testing --qf '%{buildtime}' 
obby.x86_64
1210359424
[thl at thl ~]$

Spec files are identical, nevertheless that's not what we want.
